The head on pozidrive is quite easy to chew up too.


When using quality screws and bits/screwdriver of the correct size, they
do not chew up.


That's only because you hacksaw a slot in them so that you can use your
blunt penknife.


Alas many modern screws are case hardened, and so damn hard to cut a
slot in... (small abrasive wheel in a dremmel style tool will do it though)
